**Leyana** · 06-30-2017, 01:20 AM

Waifu War IV

Welcome back to another instalment of the annual Waifu Wars. Where everyone agrees that the votes are rigged and the business is serious. Last year, Haruna was the one to finally break the DD deadlock. Will the DDs take back the crown again this year? Will Kongou finally win once? Stay tuned and find out. Remember to stay well hydrated.

Rules:

Please only vote once, no account age lock has been implemented for the convenience of non-redditors
Campaigning, salt and general shitposting regarding the waifu wars should be kept to this thread or the relevant Reddit threads
When campaigning, please keep in mind the lewd rules
It's all fun and games until someone gets a stick up their butt, free stick removal surgery will be supplied if you do unfortunately get one up your butt

Information

The contest is divided into 3 phases:

Phase 1: Nominations - This phase will run for 4 days for you to nominate any girl you want. Duplicates are automatically and manually culled.
Phase 2: Eliminations - This phase will last for a day and serves two purposes:
1. To determine the seed rankings for the brackets
2. To cut down the number of girls should the number of nominated girls not fit neatly into a bracket size. In this case, it will be to reduce the number to 128.
Phase 3: Brackets - This is where the actual voting out takes place and will be divided into two brackets of 64 girls each. Each voting round will take a day each until we are left with our winner.

Things to note:

You can nominate as many girls as you want. Don't limit yourself to just nominating one.
The number beside every girl during the bracket phase is her seed number not the amount of votes
Even though the site says you need a Reddit account, it is quick and easy to make one and does not require an email
You don't need to use the official art for nominations, remember that you want to present your waifu's best side. So dig through your collections and display your treasures. Doesn't even need to be sized properly, the site has a crop tool
DO NOT hotlink pictures from sites that disallow it (danbooru, pixiv, etc) it breaks the picture. Please reupload to an image hose like imgur

Punishment Game

As is tradition, there will be a punishment game for those brave enough to participate. Here's how it will work:

Nominate a single waifu to support, either by posting in this thread or PMing me on Reddit (/u/NotLeyana)
If your nominated waifu doesn't win, you have to change your forum avatar or Reddit flair to the overall winner for a week at the end of the contest
You can sign up at any time before the final winner is determined. Yes, even at the final showdown.

It's Episode VI that's the "Return of the X" ya pleb.

I'm still obviously in for the Punishment game for the One True Waifu Ryuujou, even though letting the Reddit plebs have access again is totally going to rig the wars again.
